Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、多角形状のエアコイルアンテナと、エアコイルアンテナが接続される電子回路を構成する複数の電子部品と、これらの電子部品が取り付けられた基板と、エアコイルアンテナおよび基板を収納するハウジングとを備えた携帯機に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
車両ユーザーが身に付けている携帯機と車両に搭載した車載機との間で無線通信を行い、車載機からのリクエスト信号に応じて携帯機からコード信号を送信し、このコード信号が車載機に記憶されているコード信号と一致するか否かを確認した結果、一致が確認された場合にドアの施錠・解錠を許可する車両用遠隔施錠・解錠装置が、下記特許文献1〜特許文献3により公知である。

【特許文献2】
特開昭62−38035号公報
【特許文献3】
特開昭62−38036号公報
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、この種の車両用遠隔施錠・解錠装置の携帯機は財布等に入れて持ち運ぶことが多いため、その厚さをできるだけ薄くすることが望ましい。しかしながら、携帯機のハウジングの内部には電子部品を取り付けた基板が収納されているため、ハウジングを薄くしたことによって曲げ剛性が低下すると、ハウジングと共に内部の基板も同等に(同程度/同量)撓んでしまい、電子部品が損傷したりハンダ付け部分が損傷したりする可能性がある。
【0005】
本発明は前述の事情に鑑みてなされたもので、携帯機のハウジングをできるだけ薄型化しながら、その曲げ剛性を高めて内部に収納した基板の保護を図ることを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、請求項1に記載された発明によれば、多角形状のエアコイルアンテナと、エアコイルアンテナが接続される電子回路を構成する複数の電子部品と、これらの電子部品が取り付けられた基板と、エアコイルアンテナおよび基板を収納するハウジングとを備えた携帯機において、エアコイルアンテナは、少なくとも二辺が基板の周囲に沿うように配置されて電子回路の少なくとも一部を取り囲んでおり、ハウジングの内面にはエアコイルアンテナと何れかの電子部品との間に位置して該ハウジングの長さ方向あるいは幅方向に延びる補強リブが設けられていることを特徴とする携帯機が提案される。
【0007】
上記構成によれば、多角形状のエアコイルアンテナの少なくとも二辺が基板の周囲に沿うように配置されて電子回路の少なくとも一部を取り囲んでおり、かつハウジングの内面にエアコイルアンテナと何れかの電子部品との間に位置して該ハウジングの長さ方向あるいは幅方向に延びる補強リブが設けられているので、補強リブの補強効果でハウジングの曲げ剛性を高めて基板を保護しながら、補強リブを設けたことによるハウジングの厚さの増加を防止することができる。しかも補強リブはエアコイルアンテナと前記何れかの電子部品とを絶縁する絶縁壁を兼ねるので、エアコイルアンテナのボビンを廃止することが可能となって部品点数の削減およびスペース効率の向上が可能になる。
【0008】
また請求項2に記載された発明によれば、多角形状のエアコイルアンテナと、エアコイルアンテナに接続される電子回路を構成する複数の電子部品と、これらの電子部品が取り付けられた基板と、エアコイルアンテナおよび基板を収納するハウジングとを備えた携帯機において、エアコイルアンテナは、少なくとも二辺が基板の周囲に沿うように配置されて電子回路の少なくとも一部を取り囲んでおり、ハウジングの内面にはエアコイルアンテナの略中央部から該エアコイルアンテナの内周部に向かってハウジングの長さ方向および幅方向に延びる十字状の補強リブが設けられていることを特徴とする携帯機が提案される。
【0009】
上記構成によれば、多角形状のエアコイルアンテナの少なくとも二辺が基板の周囲に沿うように配置されて電子回路の少なくとも一部を取り囲んでおり、かつハウジングの内面にエアコイルアンテナの略中央部から該エアコイルアンテナの内周部に向かってハウジングの長さ方向および幅方向に延びる十字状の補強リブが設けられているので、補強リブの補強効果でハウジングの長さ方向および幅方向の曲げ剛性を高めて基板を保護することができる。しかも十字状の補強リブはエアコイルアンテナの内側に配置されているので基板の端縁の手前位置で終わっており、従ってハウジングが曲げられたときに補強リブが基板の端縁に接触して大きな荷重が加わるのを防止することができる。
【0010】
また請求項3に記載された発明によれば、請求項2の構成に加えて、基板はハウジングの内部に厚さ方向に移動自在に支持されていることを特徴とする携帯機が提案される。
【0011】
上記構成によれば、基板がハウジングの内部に厚さ方向に移動自在に支持されているので、ハウジングが曲げられたときにハウジングの変形量に比べて基板の変形量を小さくすることができ、基板に取り付けられた電子部品の損傷やハンダ付け部分の損傷を防止することができる。
【0012】
尚、実施例のLFアンテナ16,17およびLED35は本発明の電子部品に対応し、実施例のLFアンテナ18は本発明のエアコイルアンテナに対応し、実施例のRFアンテナ19は本発明の電子部品あるいは何れかの電子部品に対応する。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を、添付図面に示した本発明の実施例に基づいて説明する。
【0014】
図1〜図12は本発明の一実施例を示すもので、図1は車両用遠隔施錠・解錠装置の全体構成を示す図、図2は車両用遠隔施錠・解錠装置のブロック図、図3は携帯送・受信機の全体平面図、図4は携帯送・受信機の分解斜視図、図5は携帯送・受信機のアッパーハウジングを外した状態を示す図、図6は図3の6−6線拡大断面図、図7は電池ホルダの平面図、図8は図3の要部拡大図(アッパーハウジングを外した状態)、図9は図8の9−9線拡大断面図、図10は図8の10−10線拡大断面図、図11は図8に対応する作用説明図、図12は図10に対応する作用説明図である。
【0015】
図1および図2に示すように、キーを使用せずに車両Vのドアの施錠および解錠を行うための車両用遠隔施錠・解錠装置は、車両ユーザーがポケットやバッグに入れて持ち運ぶためのカード型の携帯送・受信機11を含んでいる。携帯送・受信機11のコントロールユニット12には、LF(低周波数)受信機13と、RF(ラジオ周波数)送信機14と、RF(ラジオ周波数)受信機15とが接続されており、LF受信機13には3個のLFアンテナ16,17,18が接続されるとともに、RF送信機14およびRF受信機15には共通のRFアンテナ19が接続される。
【0016】
一方、車両V側に設けられたコントロールユニット20には、左側のドア21Lに設けた施錠スイッチ22Lおよび解錠スイッチ23Lと、右側のドア21Rに設けた施錠スイッチ22Rおよび解錠スイッチ23Rと、LF送信機24と、RF送信機25と、RF受信機26と、ドアロックアクチュエータ27とが接続されており、LF送信機24には左右のLFアンテナ28L,28Rが接続されるとともに、RF送信機25およびRF受信機26には共通のRFアンテナ29が接続される。
【0017】
しかして、携帯送・受信機11を身に付けた車両ユーザーが左側のドア21Lの解錠スイッチ23Lあるいは右側のドア21Rの解錠スイッチ23Rを押すと、車両V側のLFアンテナ28L,28RからIDリクエスト信号が送信され、それをLFアンテナ16〜18で受信した携帯送・受信機11は、コントロールユニット12に記憶しているID信号をRFアンテナ19から送信する。ID信号を車両V側のRFアンテナ29で受信したコントロールユニット20は、そのIDが正規のIDであるか否かを確認し、正規のIDであれば乱数信号xをRFアンテナ29から送信する。
【0018】
乱数信号xをRFアンテナ19で受信した携帯送・受信機11は、コントロールユニット12に記憶したプログラムに基づいて乱数信号xから算出した関数信号f(x)をRFアンテナ19から送信し、その関数信号f(x)を車両V側のRFアンテナ29で受信したコントロールユニット20は、そこで乱数信号xから算出した関数信号f(x)と前記受信した関数信号f(x)とを比較し、両者が一致していればドアロックアクチュエータ27を作動させてドア21L,21Rを解錠する。
【0019】
同様にして、携帯送・受信機11を身に付けた車両ユーザーが左側のドア21Lの施錠スイッチ22Lあるいは右側のドア21Rの施錠スイッチ22Rを押すと、コントロールユニット20がロックアクチュエータ27を作動させてドア21L,21Rを施錠する。
【0020】
次に、図3〜図12に基づいて携帯送・受信機11の構造を説明する。
【0021】
図3〜図5に示すように、携帯送・受信機11は全体として長方形状を成すカード型のものであり、財布等に収納し易いように厚さが極めて薄く形成されている。以下、長方形を成す携帯送・受信機11の四辺を右辺R、左辺L、上辺Uおよび下辺Dと呼ぶ(図3参照)。
【0022】
携帯送・受信機11のハウジング30は、合成樹脂で長方形状に形成したロアハウジング31およびアッパーハウジング32に2分割されており、ロアハウジング31の右辺R、左辺Lおよび下辺Dに沿って形成された溝状の凹部31aと、上辺U寄りの位置に形成された3個の溝状の凹部31b,31c,31dと、前記凹部31aの中央付近に形成されたピン状の凸部31eとに、アッパーハウジング32の右辺R、左辺Lおよび下辺Dに沿って形成されたリブ状の凸部32aと、上辺U寄りの位置に形成された3個のリブ状の凸部32b,32c,32dと、前記凸部32aの中央付近に形成された孔状の凹部32eとがそれぞれ嵌合し、それらの嵌合部においてロアハウジング31およびアッパーハウジング32が溶着より固定される。
【0023】
アッパーハウジング32の内面には、その長さ方向(右辺Rおよび左辺L方向)に延びる直線状の補強リブ32fと、その長さ方向および幅方向(上辺Uおよび下辺D方向)に延びる十字状の補強リブ32g,32hとが形成されており、十字状の補強リブ32g,32hの交差部に前記凹部32eが位置している。またアッパーハウジング32には、その表裏に貫通する1個の貫通孔32iが形成される。更に、ロアハウジング31およびアッパーハウジング32を結合する際に、それらを相互に位置決めするために、ロアハウジング31に形成された2個の位置決め孔31f,31fに、アッパーハウジング32に形成された2個の位置決めピン32j,32jが嵌合する。
【0024】
ロアハウジング31およびアッパーハウジング32間に形成された空間に収納される長方形状の基板33の表面には、携帯送・受信機11の右辺Rに臨む周縁部に沿って前記RFアンテナ19が固定される。軸線が相互に直交するように基板33に固定された3個のLFアンテナ16,17,18のうち、2個のLFアンテナ16,17はフェライトアンテナで構成され、残りの1個のLFアンテナ18はボビンを持たない長方形のエアコイルアンテナで構成されている。そしてエアコイルアンテナで構成されたLFアンテナ18は、携帯送・受信機11の下辺D、左辺Lおよび上辺Uに臨む基板33の周縁部とRFアンテナ19とに沿うように固定される。更に、基板33の表面には携帯送・受信機11の受信回路を含む電子回路を構成する多数の電子部品34…と1個のLED(発光ダイオード)35とが固定され、また基板33の中央部にはロアハウジング31のピン状の凸部31eが緩く貫通する貫通孔33aが形成される。貫通孔33aの裏側にはLED35が臨んでおり、LED35が発する光を貫通孔33aを通して視認することができる。
【0025】
携帯送・受信機11の上辺Uに臨む基板33の周縁部に、何れも弾性を有する金属板で構成された2個のプラス端子36,36と2個のマイナス端子37,37とが固定される。各々のプラス端子36は略180°屈曲し、その先端の接点36aは基板33の周縁部に沿って延びている。一方、各々のマイナス端子37は携帯送・受信機11の上辺Uに向かって延び、その先端に接点37aが形成される。
【0026】
図3および図6から明らかなように、アッパーハウジング32に設けた直線状の補強リブ32fが、RFアンテナ19とLFアンテナ18との間に形成された隙間αを遮るように延びている。従って、ハウジング30の厚さを増加させることなく、補強リブ32fによってハウジング30の剛性を高めて外力による曲がりを抑制し、その内部に収納した基板33に固定した電子部品34…等の損傷やハンダ付け部分の損傷を防止することができる。しかも補強リブ32fがRFアンテナ19およびLFアンテナ18間の絶縁壁を兼ねるので、LFアンテナ18にボビンを設けてRFアンテナ19との短絡を防止する必要がなくなり、部品点数の削減およびスペースの削減に寄与することができる。
【0027】
また基板33の表面には電子部品等が配置されていない十字状の隙間β,γが形成されており、この隙間β,γにアッパーハウジング32の十字状の補強リブ32g,32hが配置される。この十字状の補強リブ32g,32hの剛性向上効果により、ハウジング30の長さ方向および幅方向の曲がりを抑制し、その内部に収納した基板33に固定した電子部品34…等の損傷やハンダ付け部分の損傷を防止することができる。特に、十字状の補強リブ32g,32hは長方形のLFアンテナ18の内部に配置されおり、その4個の先端部は基板33の周縁部の手前位置で終わっているため、ハウジング30が外力で曲げられたときに補強リブ32g,32hが基板33の端縁に接触して大きな荷重が加わるのを防止することができる。
【0028】
しかも、電子回路を装着した基板33をハウジング30の内部に収納した状態で、基板33はロアハウジング31およびアッパーハウジング32に強固に固定されておらず、前後左右方向および上下方向(厚さ方向)に僅かに移動可能な隙間を有している。それに加えて、補強リブ32f,32g,32hの高さ方向の先端と基板33の表面との間に隙間が形成されているので(図6参照)、ハウジング30が曲げられたときにも、その内部に収納された基板33に曲げ荷重が伝達され難くなり、基板33の変形を最小限に抑えて耐久性を向上させることができる。
【0029】
図7〜図10に示すように、電池ホルダ38は、合成樹脂製のホルダ本体39と、このホルダ本体39に固定された金属製のキャップ40とを備える。ホルダ本体39には2個のコイン型の電池41,41を支持する2個の支持孔39a,39aが形成されており、その支持孔の周縁に段付きの電池支持面39b,39bが形成される。ホルダ本体39の両端部には、先端に係止爪39c,39cが形成された腕部39d,39dが設けられており、これらの係止爪39c,39cが係合可能な2個の係止部31g,31g(図8参照)がロアハウジング31に形成される。
【0030】
更に、ホルダ本体39の一対の腕部39d,39dの内側に前記支持孔39a,39aの一部を囲む第1、第2突起部39e,39fが形成されており、第1突起部39eに長さは第2突起部39fの長さよりも短く形成される。一方、ロアハウジング31には、前記第1突起部39eおよび第2突起部39fと協働するストッパ部31hが形成される(図8参照)。
【0031】
図7から明らかなように、電池41は、その一側面と外周面とによってプラス極41aが構成され、その他側面によってマイナス極41bが構成されており、外周面および他側面間の段部41cがホルダ本体39の電池支持面39bに嵌合するように支持孔39aに支持される。2個の電池41,41を電池ホルダ38に保持してハウジング30の内部に挿入すると、ホルダ本体39の弾性を有する一対の腕部39d,39dの先端に設けた係止爪39c,39cがロアハウジング31の係止部31g,31gに係合することで、電池ホルダ38がハウジング30に結合される。
【0032】
この状態で、電池41,41のプラス極41a,41aの外周部が基板33に設けたプラス端子36,36の接点36a,36aに弾性的に接触するとともに、電池41,41のマイナス極41b,41bが基板33に設けたマイナス端子37,37の接点37a,37aに弾性的に接触することで、携帯送・受信機11の電子回路が作動する。
【0033】
前述したように、基板33はハウジング30の内部に固定されておらず、僅かに移動できるように隙間が設けられているが、電池ホルダ38をハウジング30に結合すると、電池41,41の外周部が基板33のプラス端子36,36に当接して図8の矢印A方向に押圧することで、プラス端子36,36の弾発力で基板33が付勢されてハウジング30内面の下辺D側に押し付けられるため、基板33のガタつきや異音の発生を防止することができる。
【0034】
このように、プラス端子36,36の弾発力を利用することで、基板33をハウジング30に固定するための特別の固定部材や基板33をハウジング30に組み付ける組付工数を削減することができ、しかもハウジング30に加わる曲げや衝撃が基板33に伝わり難くすることができる。特に、基板33はハウジング30に対して前後左右に移動自在なだけでなく、厚さ方向にも移動自在であるため、ハウジング30が曲げられたときにハウジング30の変形量に比べて基板33の変形量を小さくすることができ、基板33に取り付けられた電子部品34等の損傷やハンダ付け部分の損傷を防止することができる。
【0035】
電池41,41を電池ホルダ38のホルダ本体39の支持孔39a,39aに表裏逆に装着すると、電池41,41の段部41c,41cとホルダ本体39の電池支持面39b,39bとが一致せず、電池41,41のマイナス極41b,41bがホルダ本体39から厚さ方向に突出してしまい、電池ホルダ38をハウジング30に挿入し難くなることで、電池41,41が表裏逆に装着されていることに気づき易くなる。
【0036】
仮に、電池41,41が表裏逆に装着されていることに気づかずに電池ホルダ38をハウジング30に無理に挿入した場合、図12に示すように、ハウジング30が撓むことで電池ホルダ38は一応ハウジング30に結合可能である。しかしながら、電池41,41の一側面のプラス極41a,41aが基板33のマイナス端子37,37の接点37a,37aに接触し、かつ電池41,41の外周部のプラス極41a,41aが基板33のプラス端子36,36の接点36a,36aに接触するために、つまり基板33のプラス端子36,36およびマイナス端子37,37が共に電池41,41のプラス極41a,41aに接触するために、電子回路に逆電流が流れて破損の原因になることが未然に防止される。
【0037】
また電池41,41を電池ホルダ38に正しく装着しても、電池ホルダ38を表裏逆にしてハウジング30に装着すると電子回路に給電することができなくなる。図8から明らかなように、電池ホルダ38の表裏に誤りがなければ、ホルダ本体39の短い方の第1突起部39eがロアハウジング31のストッパ部31hと干渉しないため、電池ホルダ38を正しくハウジング30に結合することができる。それに対して、図11から明らかなように、電池ホルダ38を表裏逆にしてハウジング30に挿入しようとすると、ホルダ本体39の長い方の第2突起部39fがロアハウジング31のストッパ部31hと干渉してしまい(図11のp点参照)、電池ホルダ38をハウジング30内に完全に挿入できなくなることで、電池ホルダ38の誤組みを確実に防止することができる。
【0038】
尚、電池ホルダ38をハウジング30から外すには、ホルダ本体39の一対の腕部39d,39dを2本の指で内向きに押して係止爪39c,39cを係止部31g,31gから外した後、腕部39d,39dを掴んだまま電池ホルダ38をハウジング30から引き抜けば良い。
【0039】
以上、本発明の実施例を説明したが、本発明はその要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の設計変更を行うことが可能である。
【0040】
例えば、実施例ではエアコイルアンテナよるなるLFアンテナ18の外側にRFアンテナ19が配置されているが、RFアンテナ19をLFアンテナ18の内側に配置して全ての電子部品をLFアンテナ18で取り囲んでも良い。
【0041】
また実施例では直線状の補強リブ32fがハウジング30の長手方向に延びているが、ハウジング30の幅方向に延びていても良い。
【0042】
また本発明の携帯機の用途は、車両Vのドア21L,21Rの施錠および解錠を行うための車両用遠隔施錠・解錠装置に限定されるものではない。
【0043】
【発明の効果】
以上のように請求項1に記載された発明によれば、多角形状のエアコイルアンテナの少なくとも二辺が基板の周囲に沿うように配置されて電子回路の少なくとも一部を取り囲んでおり、かつハウジングの内面にエアコイルアンテナと何れかの電子部品との間に位置して該ハウジングの長さ方向あるいは幅方向に延びる補強リブが設けられているので、補強リブの補強効果でハウジングの曲げ剛性を高めて基板を保護しながら、補強リブを設けたことによるハウジングの厚さの増加を防止することができる。しかも補強リブはエアコイルアンテナと前記何れかの電子部品とを絶縁する絶縁壁を兼ねるので、エアコイルアンテナのボビンを廃止することが可能となって部品点数の削減およびスペース効率の向上が可能になる。
【0044】
また請求項2に記載された発明によれば、多角形状のエアコイルアンテナの少なくとも二辺が基板の周囲に沿うように配置されて電子回路の少なくとも一部を取り囲んでおり、かつハウジングの内面にエアコイルアンテナの略中央部から該エアコイルアンテナの内周部に向かってハウジングの長さ方向および幅方向に延びる十字状の補強リブが設けられているので、補強リブの補強効果でハウジングの長さ方向および幅方向の曲げ剛性を高めて基板を保護することができる。しかも十字状の補強リブはエアコイルアンテナの内側に配置されているので基板の端縁の手前位置で終わっており、従ってハウジングが曲げられたときに補強リブが基板の端縁に接触して大きな荷重が加わるのを防止することができる。
【0045】
また請求項3に記載された発明によれば、基板がハウジングの内部に厚さ方向に移動自在に支持されているので、ハウジングが曲げられたときにハウジングの変形量に比べて基板の変形量を小さくすることができ、基板に取り付けられた電子部品の損傷やハンダ付け部分の損傷を防止することができる。

[0020]
Next, the structure of the portable transmitter / receiver 11 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0021]
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the portable transmitter / receiver 11 is a card type having a rectangular shape as a whole, and is formed to be extremely thin so as to be easily stored in a wallet or the like. Hereinafter, the four sides of the portable transmitter / receiver 11 forming a rectangle are referred to as a right side R, a left side L, an upper side U, and a lower side D (see FIG. 3).
[0022]
The housing 30 of the portable transmitter / receiver 11 is divided into a lower housing 31 and an upper housing 32 formed in a rectangular shape with a synthetic resin, and is formed along the right side R, the left side L, and the lower side D of the lower housing 31. Grooved concave portion 31a, three groove-shaped concave portions 31b, 31c, 31d formed near the upper side U, and a pin-shaped convex portion 31e formed near the center of the concave portion 31a. A rib-shaped protrusion 32a formed along the right side R, the left side L, and the lower side D of the upper housing 32; and three rib-shaped protrusions 32b, 32c, 32d formed near the upper side U, The hole-shaped concave portions 32e formed near the center of the convex portions 32a are fitted respectively, and the lower housing 31 and the upper housing 32 are fixed by welding at those fitted portions. .
[0023]
On the inner surface of the upper housing 32, a linear reinforcing rib 32f extending in the length direction (the direction of the right side R and the left side L) and a cross shape extending in the length direction and the width direction (the direction of the upper side U and the lower side D) are provided. Reinforcing ribs 32g and 32h are formed, and the recess 32e is located at the intersection of the cross-shaped reinforcing ribs 32g and 32h. The upper housing 32 is formed with one through hole 32i penetrating the front and back sides. Further, when the lower housing 31 and the upper housing 32 are connected to each other, two positioning holes 31f, 31f formed in the lower housing 31 are used to position the two. Of the positioning pins 32j, 32j.
[0024]
The RF antenna 19 is fixed to a surface of a rectangular substrate 33 accommodated in a space formed between the lower housing 31 and the upper housing 32 along a peripheral portion facing the right side R of the portable transmitter / receiver 11. You. Of the three LF antennas 16, 17, 18 fixed to the substrate 33 so that their axes are orthogonal to each other, two LF antennas 16, 17 are formed of ferrite antennas, and the other LF antenna 18 Is composed of a rectangular air coil antenna having no bobbin. The LF antenna 18 composed of an air coil antenna is fixed along the periphery of the substrate 33 facing the lower side D, the left side L, and the upper side U of the portable transmitter / receiver 11 and the RF antenna 19. Further, on the surface of the substrate 33, a large number of electronic components 34 and one LED (light emitting diode) 35 constituting an electronic circuit including a receiving circuit of the portable transmitter / receiver 11 are fixed. The portion is formed with a through hole 33a through which the pin-shaped convex portion 31e of the lower housing 31 penetrates loosely. The LED 35 faces the back side of the through hole 33a, and light emitted from the LED 35 can be visually recognized through the through hole 33a.
[0025]
Two plus terminals 36, 36 and two minus terminals 37, 37, both made of an elastic metal plate, are fixed to the periphery of the substrate 33 facing the upper side U of the portable transmitter / receiver 11.

On the other hand, each minus terminal 37 extends toward the upper side U of the portable transmitter / receiver 11, and a contact 37a is formed at the tip thereof.
[0026]
As is clear from FIGS. 3 and 6, a linear reinforcing rib 32 f provided on the upper housing 32 extends so as to block the gap α formed between the RF antenna 19 and the LF antenna 18. Accordingly, without increasing the thickness of the housing 30, the rigidity of the housing 30 is increased by the reinforcing ribs 32f to suppress bending due to external force, and damage or soldering of the electronic components 34 fixed to the substrate 33 housed therein is reduced. Damage to the attachment portion can be prevented. Moreover, since the reinforcing rib 32f also serves as an insulating wall between the RF antenna 19 and the LF antenna 18, it is not necessary to provide a bobbin on the LF antenna 18 to prevent a short circuit with the RF antenna 19, thereby reducing the number of parts and the space. Can contribute.
[0027]
Further, cross-shaped gaps β and γ in which electronic components and the like are not arranged are formed on the surface of the substrate 33, and cross-shaped reinforcing ribs 32g and 32h of the upper housing 32 are arranged in the gaps β and γ. . Due to the rigidity improving effect of the cross-shaped reinforcing ribs 32g and 32h, bending in the length direction and the width direction of the housing 30 is suppressed, and the electronic components 34 fixed to the substrate 33 housed therein are damaged or soldered. Part damage can be prevented. In particular, the cross-shaped reinforcing ribs 32g and 32h are arranged inside the rectangular LF antenna 18, and their four ends end short of the peripheral edge of the substrate 33, so that the housing 30 is bent by an external force. When this is done, it is possible to prevent the reinforcement ribs 32g and 32h from contacting the edge of the substrate 33 and applying a large load.
[0028]
In addition, in a state in which the board 33 on which the electronic circuit is mounted is housed inside the housing 30, the board 33 is not firmly fixed to the lower housing 31 and the upper housing 32, and the front, rear, left and right directions and the up and down direction (thickness direction). Has a slightly movable gap. In addition, since a gap is formed between the front ends of the reinforcing ribs 32f, 32g, and 32h in the height direction and the surface of the substrate 33 (see FIG. 6), even when the housing 30 is bent, the gap is formed. The bending load is less likely to be transmitted to the substrate 33 housed inside, and the deformation of the substrate 33 can be minimized to improve the durability.
[0029]
As shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the battery holder 38 includes a holder body 39 made of a synthetic resin, and a metal cap 40 fixed to the holder body 39. The holder main body 39 has two support holes 39a, 39a for supporting two coin-type batteries 41, 41, and stepped battery support surfaces 39b, 39b are formed on the periphery of the support holes. You. At both ends of the holder body 39, there are provided arms 39d, 39d each having a locking claw 39c, 39c formed at the tip, and two locking hooks with which these locking claws 39c, 39c can be engaged. Portions 31g, 31g (see FIG. 8) are formed in the lower housing 31.
[0030]
Further, first and second projections 39e, 39f surrounding a part of the support holes 39a, 39a are formed inside the pair of arms 39d, 39d of the holder body 39, and the first projection 39e has a long length. The length is formed shorter than the length of the second protrusion 39f. On the other hand, the lower housing 31 is formed with a stopper 31h that cooperates with the first protrusion 39e and the second protrusion 39f (see FIG. 8).
[0031]
As is clear from FIG. 7, the battery 41 has a positive electrode 41a formed by one side surface and an outer peripheral surface, a negative electrode 41b formed by the other side surface, and a step 41c between the outer peripheral surface and the other side surface. The holder main body 39 is supported by the support holes 39a so as to be fitted to the battery support surface 39b. When the two batteries 41, 41 are held by the battery holder 38 and inserted into the housing 30, the locking claws 39c, 39c provided at the tips of the pair of elastic arms 39d, 39d of the holder body 39 are lower. The battery holder 38 is coupled to the housing 30 by engaging with the locking portions 31 g of the housing 31.
[0032]
In this state, the outer peripheries of the positive electrodes 41a of the batteries 41, 41 elastically contact the contacts 36a, 36a of the positive terminals 36, 36 provided on the substrate 33, and the negative electrodes 41b, 41b of the batteries 41, 41. The electronic circuit of the portable transmitter / receiver 11 operates when the contact 41b elastically contacts the contacts 37a, 37a of the minus terminals 37, 37 provided on the substrate 33.
[0033]
As described above, the substrate 33 is not fixed inside the housing 30 and is provided with a gap so as to be able to move slightly. However, when the battery holder 38 is coupled to the housing 30, the outer peripheral portions of the batteries 41 Abuts against the positive terminals 36, 36 of the substrate 33 and presses in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 8, the substrate 33 is urged by the resilience of the positive terminals 36, 36, so that the lower surface D side of the inner surface of the housing 30 Since the pressing is performed, it is possible to prevent rattling of the substrate 33 and generation of abnormal noise.
[0034]
As described above, by using the elasticity of the positive terminals 36, 36, a special fixing member for fixing the board 33 to the housing 30 and the number of assembling steps for assembling the board 33 to the housing 30 can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to make it difficult for bending and impact applied to the housing 30 to be transmitted to the substrate 33. In particular, since the substrate 33 is not only movable in the front, rear, left and right directions with respect to the housing 30 but also movable in the thickness direction, when the housing 30 is bent, the amount of deformation of the substrate 33 The amount of deformation can be reduced, and damage to the electronic components 34 and the like attached to the substrate 33 and damage to soldered portions can be prevented.
[0035]
When the batteries 41, 41 are mounted upside down in the support holes 39a, 39a of the holder main body 39 of the battery holder 38, the step portions 41c, 41c of the batteries 41, 41 coincide with the battery support surfaces 39b, 39b of the holder main body 39. However, the negative poles 41b, 41b of the batteries 41, 41 protrude from the holder body 39 in the thickness direction, and it becomes difficult to insert the battery holder 38 into the housing 30, so that the batteries 41, 41 are mounted upside down. It becomes easy to notice that there is.
[0036]
If the battery holder 38 is forcibly inserted into the housing 30 without noticing that the batteries 41 and 41 are mounted upside down, as shown in FIG. It can be connected to the housing 30 for the time being. However, the positive electrodes 41a, 41a on one side of the batteries 41, 41 are in contact with the contacts 37a, 37a of the minus terminals 37, 37 of the substrate 33, and the positive electrodes 41a, 41a on the outer periphery of the batteries 41, 41 are connected to the substrate 33. In order to make contact with the contacts 36a, 36a of the plus terminals 36, 36, that is, in order that both the plus terminals 36, 36 and the minus terminals 37, 37 of the substrate 33 contact the plus poles 41a, 41a of the batteries 41, 41, It is possible to prevent a reverse current from flowing through the electronic circuit to cause damage.
[0037]
Further, even if the batteries 41 are correctly mounted on the battery holder 38, if the battery holder 38 is mounted upside down on the housing 30, power cannot be supplied to the electronic circuit. As is clear from FIG. 8, if there is no error in the front and back of the battery holder 38, the shorter first protrusion 39 e of the holder main body 39 does not interfere with the stopper 31 h of the lower housing 31. 30. On the other hand, as is apparent from FIG. 11, when the battery holder 38 is inserted upside down into the housing 30, the longer second protrusion 39 f of the holder main body 39 interferes with the stopper 31 h of the lower housing 31. As a result, the battery holder 38 cannot be completely inserted into the housing 30 (see the point p in FIG. 11), so that erroneous assembly of the battery holder 38 can be reliably prevented.
[0038]
In order to remove the battery holder 38 from the housing 30, the pair of arms 39d, 39d of the holder main body 39 are pushed inward with two fingers to remove the locking claws 39c, 39c from the locking portions 31g, 31g. Thereafter, the battery holder 38 may be pulled out of the housing 30 while holding the arms 39d and 39d.
[0039]
The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, various design changes can be made in the present invention without departing from the gist thereof.
[0040]
For example, in the embodiment, the RF antenna 19 is disposed outside the LF antenna 18 composed of an air coil antenna. However, the RF antenna 19 may be disposed inside the LF antenna 18 so that all the electronic components are surrounded by the LF antenna 18. good.
[0041]
In the embodiment, the linear reinforcing rib 32f extends in the longitudinal direction of the housing 30, but may extend in the width direction of the housing 30.
[0042]
The use of the portable device of the present invention is not limited to a vehicle remote locking / unlocking device for locking and unlocking the doors 21L and 21R of the vehicle V.
[0043]
